Three new Chinese truck cranes from Manitowoc

Manitowoc will launch three new Dongyue truck cranes, manufactured at the Manitowoc facility in Tai’an, China, at bauma China 2008 in November.

Gilles Martin, executive vice president for Manitowoc in Asia-Pacific, said: “Although the new truck cranes from Manitowoc Dongyue are currently for the Chinese market only, by launching them at bauma China we are sending a message that we are on the road to building international- quality truck cranes at this facility. This show is a great opportunity for our customers to learn about our intentions in the truck crane market in China and beyond.”

Manitowoc created the joint venture with Tai’an Dongyue Heavy Machinery Co earlier this year. The new business and products resulting from the partnership are known as Manitowoc Dongyue. The cranes on display at bauma China will be the 10 tonne GT-10, 18 tonne GT-18 and the 25 tonne GT-25.
